La conquête de la Saxe par Charlemagne

The Game (English & French):

Wargame : Lex Saxonum

Lex Saxonum is a two player game that simulates the conquest of Saxony by Charlemagne in the last quarter of the 8th century. One of the players represents the Carolingians of Austrasia, Hesse, Thuringia and West Friesland, the other player controls the different Saxon tribal federations and their Danish and Frisian allies. The goal of Charlemagne is to integrate Saxony into the Carolingian domain, including through terror and exemplary massacres.

Complexity : 4/10

Solitaire suitability : 2/10

Duration : 2 to 3 hours

Game turn = one year

A unit = a few hundred men

VaeVictis Magazines have very nice, small Wargames inside (good BGG ratings) with very good looking counters (see product picts). One thing, that could be, is that the gaming map has some little crinkles, because they use the map as an envelope for the game. 

We printed the English Rules for You (in Colour) and send them together with the Magazine!
